Stars are Born

Lucky and Billie are gorgeous, young, incredibly talented and also flat broke. When they hear there is a ONE MILLION DOLLAR top prize for “Mr. & Mrs. Americana” a reality contest for musical married couples, they are prepared to do whatever it takes to enter including pretend that they are husband and wife when they actually barely know each other. Talent scouts immediately spot them in the crowd and present them to the less than scrupulous show organizers Ray and Precious. True to his trademark of manipulation, exploitation and conniving, Ray comes up with a twisted gimmick for the show to make the competition national news. The happily married couple is asked to perform their songs for a pre-selected audience of social media influencers where they will be encouraged to undermine, insult, backstab and ridicule each other to prove that ambition is stronger than love. “A husband and wife knife fight’ is the concept which isn’t a surprise considering the source – Ray Pursell, TV Show Producer and serial abuser. Ray believes he is untouchable but meanwhile an undercover investigative mission is happening behind the scenes to reveal the truth. Will these two idealistic young musicians take the bait and tear each other down on camera in order to drive a carefully calculated social media frenzy? Or will their growing love, respect and common bonds prove the opposite of Ray’s thesis: Can love turn out to be stronger than money and fame?

OSCAR and CESAR nominated, CANNES, TIFF and FIPRESCI awarded multiple jury prize winner

“The highest grossing per theater average on non-studio films on its opening weekend in the USA  https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/09/movies/1982-review.html

“1982” is based on the real childhood memories of writer-director Oualid Mouaness who perfectly frames an escalating armed conflict with a prepubescent romance between a boy and a girl from the opposite sides of a threatened city. Divided across religious lines at the time, with Muslims on the west and Christians on the east, the entire city eventually came under fire.

The film is set on the last day of classes in an elementary school, integrating customary childhood behavior with the ever-growing apprehensions of teachers and administrators as the rumble of war planes makes it impossible to protect the kids from the worsening situation. As the story develops the escalating erosion of the city is paralleled by the erosion of innocence of its people but one in which childlike imagination finds a way to triumph in the end.

With extraordinary performances (including a spellbinding performance teeming with restrained anxiety by Oscar nominated Nadine Labaki) we are not only given the opportunity to walk back in time but also to walk in other’s shoes in a world where the future of tomorrow is truly unknown. Couldn’t be more timely for all of us!

“1982” is able to treat a heavy story of war and conflict with delicacy and charm to make it spell-bindingly entertaining on every level.

With CANAL+ Star Gaia Weiss of “Marie Antoinette” in the lead

Co starring: Anthony Boyle, an Oliver winner and Tony nominee.
Shot by the Oscar winning Anthony Dod Mantle of “Slumdog Millionaire”
Edited by an Oscar winner


As we peep into the life of this uniquely gifted couple whose relationship we are witnessing slowly unravel, it is clear that theirs is not an orthodox romance. The erotic tension between them is palpable and carnal as they both seem to retreat more deeply into their obsessions. Sexual violation and violence from the outside world begins to trickle into the home as jealousy and madness build. Under extreme pressures from the exterior world as well as from their prisonesque interior world, their anxieties build and their grip on reality begins to slip.
Adding to the tension, the viewer’s experience is uniquely guided through the perspective of the electronic “cloud.” The storyline weaves its way through many different electronic devices, cameras and multiple viewers. We are never sure who’s perspective we are watching from. Just when you think you are witnessing an intimate scene, it is revealed that what you are watching, is in fact seen by one of the characters on their device. This suspenseful filmic journey illustrates the claustrophobic surveillance reality we all live in where all is seen and recorded.
Where we spy on each other, just to be spied on by others.
